Ph: Love: Just The Truth Poem by Brian Johnston

Ph: Love: Just The Truth



Your words are raw,
Mine more designed,
Your poems are passionate,
Mine more refined.

Your heart is everything,
My heart is cool,
You are God's favorite,
I am His fool.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

January 3,2014

If you would like to give this poem a rating, please do so in a comment that is separate from your regular comment if you leave one. Many poets, including myself, have been experiencing visits from hard to identify PH members who like to damage other's poem's ratings with illegal multiple votes of 1.0 and make a mockery out of normal voting. You voting in a comment field helps me to protect your rating of my poem which they wish to destroy. I know that this is a bit of extra work for you, but believe me it is appreciated.

Poet's Notes:
This is the first untouched poem of my life. Straight from my source to the blank page.

No Ed, more like an enigma within an enigma. Don't you recognize the story of the prodigal sister? Lora is the sister that ran away from home (Dad's favorite?) and I am the the son who stayed home and did all the grunt work (Dad's fool) and in spite of my fealty, wound up being jealous of my sister's homecoming party. Wow! You and Merov! You may think I'm kidding, but I love you both! I actually like both of your interpretations on this poem. Isn't imagination/poetry fun? Here we have three different perspectives on the same poem and they are all right!

Hi Ed, It seems I am just too simple for your enigmatic mind. : -) What I mean to imply by calling myself God's fool, is that to the best of my ability, all of the time, I will defend the God of Love, even if I can't understand His perspective. There is simply no possibility in my poor mind that He could be wrong, ergo I am God's fool! QED

Lora loves the poem - she thanks you. (I know because she and I are best friends - she tells me everything)
